12 EMC Avamar 7.0 Release Notes
Fixed problems
VMware
Avamar support for VMware includes the following new features and enhancements in
release 7.0 and release 7.0 Service Pack 1:
◆ Avamar release 7.0 Service Pack 1 includes support for VMware vSphere 5.5.
◆ Support for vSphere 5.1 and EXT4 filesystems, and enhanced LVM support.
◆ Container-level policies for managing vApps, virtual machine folders (that is, any
folder below the datacenter level), and resource pools as integral objects rather than
as a collection of individual virtual machines. You can define one of the following
inclusion settings for each container:
• Dynamic inclusion, which includes all contents of the vCenter container, but also
continuously monitors the container entity in vCenter so that if changes occur (for
example, virtual machines or folders are added or deleted), those changes are
automatically reflected in Avamar.
• Static inclusion, which includes only what is in the vCenter container at the time it
is added to Avamar. Subsequent changes in vCenter are not reflected in Avamar.
IMPORTANT
If you use the existing VMware file-level restore feature, ensure that you review the
requirements and limitations in the
EMC Avamar for VMware User Guide to avoid failures
or unexpected behavior when you browse to or restore files.
